S + a = 722
s = 72 + a

(72 + a) + a = 722
2a + 72 = 722
2a = 722 - 72
2a = 650
a = 650/2
a = 325 <== adults

s = 72 + a
s = 72 + 325
s = 397 <== students

16) y varies directly as x is the same thing as y=mx where m is the constant
for the first equation where the length is 7 and weight is 49 there fore
7=m49 in which m=1/7 so to find the length of the 2nd equation
y=m63
y=1/7 x63
y=9 inches


17)The raiser with the $6.25 would raise more money because if 25 ticket is sold and money received is $125 then each ticket is sold for $5  which means if the ticket is sold for $6.25 then 25 would bring in $156.25

Solve for X and Y: <br> Y=2+7x and -2x+6y=-28
Furkat [3]

Answer:

x=-1 and y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

ሰላም!

Given expressions let them given as two equations

  • y=2+7x....... equation (1)
  • -2x+6y=-28..... equation (2)

Thus, substitute y=2+7x into equation (2)

- 2x + 6(2 + 7x) =  - 28 \\

simplify it

- 2x + 12 + 42x =  - 28 \\ 40x + 12 =  - 28

subtract 12 from both sides

40x + 12 - 12 =  - 28 - 12 \\ 40x =  - 40

divide both sides by 40

\frac{40x}{40}  =  \frac{ - 40}{40} \\ x =  - 1

Therefore, as we get the value of x=-1 substitute it to equation (1) and solve for variable y

y = 2 + 7x \\ y = 2 + 7( -1 ) \\ y = 2 - 7 \\ y =  - 5

To be more sure make a cross check on both of the two expressions

Thus,

1) y=2+7x .... substitute y=-5 and x=-1 and check if it is equal

-5=2+7(-1)

-5=2-5

-5=-5

2)-2x+6y=-28... substitute and check

-2(-1)+6(-5)=-28

2-30=-28... (-a)(-b)=ab

-28=-28

Hope it helps!

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Each person would receive maximum 0.8 pounds of potato.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Amount of Potato = 16 pounds.

Number of people attend reunion = 20

We need to find the largest amount of potato each person would receive.

Solution:

largest amount of potato each person would receive can be calculated by dividing Total Amount of Potato with Number of people attend the reunion.

framing in equation form we get;

largest amount of potato each person would receive = \frac{16}{20} =0.8\ pounds

Hence Each person would receive maximum 0.8 pounds of potato.
